Does any one know if PowerPoint Viewer support the .NET
API? I have a .NET application that works fine with
powerPoint to display slides but it fails to work with
PowerPoint Viewer. Why?
Thanks.

If you're using the older PowerPoint 97/2000 viewer, the object model is
different, much more limited and would at a minimum require a different
object reference, since it's a different app.

If you're using the newer viewer, it doesn't expose any object model, so
short of sending keystrokes to it, it appears it'd be a non-starter.
 
Thank you for your answer.

You are right. I am using the new viewer(2003), it looks
like no starting. How to solve the problem?

Thanks.
 
How to solve the problem? I don't know. Use the older viewer, perhaps?

Hello Tom,

PowerPoint Viewer 2003 does not expose any objects for purposes of
automation.

If it is important to you (or anyone else reading this message) that the
PowerPoint Viewer expose an object model (what specifically should it
expose? how would you use these objects? What solution(s) would they
enable? etc.), don't forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
